Former Alisoft Marketing Director Heads Home to Kingdee

Wang Guanxiong, former marketing director of Alibaba Group's Zhejiang-based software subsidiary Alisoft, has been appointed the new marketing director of Kingdee's (268.HK) e-commerce and Software as a Service (SaaS) platform Youshang.com, reports Sohu. Wang said he was returning to Shenzhen, where Kingdee is headquartered, to take care of his family and had no further comment.

Wang previously worked at Kingdee for three years as marketing director of its Apusic business, and he joined Alisoft one day before Alibaba Group's business-to-business subsidiary Alibaba.com (1688.HK) listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on November 6, 2007, said the report. Kingdee released Youshang.com on November 28, 2007.
